Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 158: Sneaking into Gaiara City
This was the first time Song Heping wore an Arab robe and a headscarf.

In order to enter the city of Qayara without attracting attention, he even put on makeup and pasted a big beard on his face.

This thing was glued on.

Even so, he was still not at ease, so he put on a pair of cheap sunglasses on his nose.

The conditions are like this, so we have to make do.

But a good plaster is one that can draw out pus. If you don’t look closely now, Song Heping is just a middle-aged uncle.

This time when going to Gaiyara City, Song Heping decided to bring only Samir.

Although the chefs and others strongly opposed it, thinking that it was too risky for Song Heping to do so, Song Heping still made up his mind to take only one person with him.

If you are afraid of danger, then don't do reconnaissance.

The two of them no longer drove off-road vehicles.

That car was not something that ordinary people could afford. In order to be more down-to-earth, they temporarily borrowed a shabby old Nissan pickup truck from Haimur.

The car was already twenty years old, covered in rust and in very poor condition. It had a manual transmission and the gearbox was probably worn out. When shifting gears, if the speed was slightly inappropriate, it would make a creaking sound, as if the gears would break in the next second.

The two men hid their assault rifles and most of their weapons under the seat of the pickup truck, and only carried their pistols, which they hid under their loose robes.

It is only 80 kilometers from Sherbut to Qayyara, but the atmosphere on the road is obviously tense, and checkpoints set up by American soldiers can be seen everywhere.

As long as the battle of Mosul continues, the US troops in the northwest will be very nervous. In order to prevent supplies from entering Mosul, they have closed all transportation routes within a hundred kilometers of Mosul.

Fortunately, "Musician" Defense is a formal PMC company and has military contracts with the US military stationed in Iraq.

This situation is very delicate.

This is the reason why Song Heping took on this contract regardless of the cost.

Once you receive this kind of military contract, it is like being on the white list, and you can travel freely in the northwest region with a pass issued by the US military.

Sometimes this kind of convenience can't be bought with money.

So the journey was quite smooth and we passed several checkpoints without any problems.

Looking at the American soldiers on the road, Song Heping felt that this was quite ironic.

The CIA went to great lengths to find the gold, not knowing that the gold was actually right under their noses.

The city of Qayara is within their encirclement.

Perhaps this is why both Haimur and Afanasiy are so anxious to take action immediately.

The resistance forces in Mosul will not be able to hold out for long, and the US military will sooner or later take full control of the city.

Once Mosul falls, it means that the US military has completed complete control over most areas of the country, and the remaining resistance can only be sporadic attacks. Then Qayyara will be cleared out sooner or later, and the suicide squad hiding there will definitely be difficult to hide, and the gold will be discovered sooner or later.

Ferrari sold itself last night and got the structural drawings.

The factory covers a large area, after all, the land there is not valuable.

It covers an area of ​​12 square meters, with a total of buildings including office buildings, factories, warehouses, etc.

There are four entrances and exits in total. The main gate is the widest, and the back door can only accommodate one truck. The small gates on the north and south sides only allow people to enter and exit, and vehicles find it difficult to pass through.

The entire factory area is surrounded by a two-meter-high wall, which is considered a closed factory area. If the information provided by Haimur is correct, the gold is in the basement of the main office building, then the main building must be the focus of defense.

Song Heping must figure out the troop deployment and personnel distribution in the entire factory area.

This includes the number of patrol personnel at night, the security measures, the firepower configuration, the locations of lookout posts, guard posts, and secret posts, etc.

Especially the secret sentries and lookouts.

When it comes to defending a factory complex like this, almost every commander would set up lookout posts at high altitudes. Even if he were the commander of a suicide squad, he would do the same.

Closed factory areas are the easiest to defend. Although they cannot withstand the attack of armored clusters, they are enough to withstand light infantry.

If some extremely powerful firepower points are deployed in key areas of the factory, it will be very difficult to rush in.

What Song Heping is facing now is not a tactical problem, but a manpower problem.

His two companies were responsible for the security of two oil fields and a water supply station, and it was impossible to transfer manpower.

Even if he could withdraw them, Song Heping would not use these local mercenaries.

Not a word of this matter can be leaked.

But if local mercenaries are not used, there are only 9 people who can be mobilized.

Nine people attacked a factory defended by 9 people.

Even a tactical expert like Song Heping finds this a headache.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two men finally entered the city of Gayala in a pickup truck.

Before entering the suburbs, Song Heping saw a forward camp set up by the US military outside the city. At a glance, it should be a mechanized infantry battalion.

Because the city of Qayyara is located southeast of Mosul, only 60 kilometers away from Mosul, and is the throat for entering the area, the US military deployed troops here to strangle Mosul’s transportation and supply lines to prevent armed groups from other places from reinforcing it.

The US military base was only 5 kilometers away from the city. Song Heping hurriedly took out the map and looked at the distance.

It was discovered that the refractory factory was only 7 kilometers away from the mechanized battalion's camp.

too close.

This means that as long as there is any movement at the refractory factory, the US troops here will notice it.

Another point is, after taking over the refractory factory, how to transport the gold out?
There are US military checkpoints everywhere, and the searches on trucks are very strict. Trucks entering and leaving here will be stopped by soldiers and searched.

The US military's operations are also easy to understand, preventing arms and supplies from flowing into the Mosul area from here.

"Boss, the inspection here is too strict..."

Samir said worriedly as they passed the last checkpoint and began to enter the city.

"I saw."

Song Heping rubbed his temples.

He also had a bad headache.

Even if we get the gold now, we may not be able to leave here.

The pickup truck drove into the city.

There were not many pedestrians on the street.

But there are some.

Song Heping always paid attention to the situation outside the car.

He loves seeing children on the roadside the most.

Because as long as there are children on the roadside, it means it is safe.

If you don't see children on the roadside, you have to be very careful.

This means there are likely two scenarios here - either a roadside bomb has been planted, or there are militants in a nearby building ready to launch an attack.

As long as the children are there, it means safety. Also, always pay attention to whether anyone around sees your car and starts making calls.

When this happens, it can only be said that it has attracted other people's attention.

Fortunately nothing happened.

The car and the people were well disguised.

After winding through the streets of Gayala City, the pickup truck finally arrived in front of a five-story building and stopped at the door.

Sameer gets out of the car and knocks on the door.

Song Heping tried to reduce his chances of showing up and just sat in the car waiting.

This building was arranged by Haimur, and the owner of the house is his man. In the past two days, Song Heping can monitor the factory area 500 meters away from the building.

Providing surveillance points is also part of Haimur's cooperation.

In Qayara, a five-story building is considered a very rare tall building.

The iron door downstairs was quickly opened.

A middle-aged Mediterranean man came out from inside.

Samir had a conversation with him and exchanged secret signals. The man then took a look at the shabby Nissan pickup truck and pointed in the direction of the garage, apparently asking the car to drive in.

Samir quickly returned to the car and said to Song Heping while driving: "Yes, it's them."

The car drove into the garage, the Mediterranean man ran to close the iron gate, and walked into the garage through the side door.

"Are you Mr. Song?"

Mediterranean actually speaks English.

"My name is Hamed. For the next two days, you can do whatever you want at the highest point of the building. The patriarch said that if you need anything, you can let me know. As long as we can provide help, we will definitely provide it."

Song Heping said, "I want your surveillance records."

Hamed was stunned when he heard what Song Heping said.

"How do you know we have records?"

Song Heping said, "What a coincidence! This building is right near the factory, and it's a rare tall building in the city. I don't think it's such a coincidence. You're not the owner of this place, you're renting it, right?"

Hamed's surprise was indescribable.

The Chinese man surnamed Song in front of me was absolutely right.

The building was rented for a large sum of money a month ago.

But after monitoring for a while, I found that it was impossible to do it.

With Haimur's strength, he was unable to deal with the death squad in the factory, and he was not sure whether he could transport the gold out safely.

That's why the old man thought of asking for help and seeking cooperation.

Otherwise, if you can eat it all by yourself, who wouldn’t want to keep fifty tons of gold for yourself?
"I'll get it for you."

Hamed quickly turned and left, quickly bringing back a stack of bound papers.

"This is the record of our surveillance for half a month, including their sentry positions and patrol times, etc., all recorded in detail."

"Okay, I'll see for myself."

Song Heping called Samir, and the two of them took all the equipment from the pickup truck and went up to the fifth floor.

The room on the fifth floor has a simple bed, and looking out the window, you can vaguely see the refractory factory.

Song Heping set up the surveillance observation mirror and other equipment, aimed it at the factory area and debugged it, and then began to look through the surveillance records.

It is obvious that Hamed and his team's surveillance records are not professional, so they are rather messy.

But it's very detailed, which is a good thing.

Song Heping took a look, then looked at the observation mirror, checked the position of the guard sentry and so on, and then marked it on the structural diagram.

Soon, the manual work was completed.

The structural diagram clearly shows the positions of the suicide squad's sentries and the locations of the dining, sleeping and other buildings in the refractory factory.

Song Heping spread out the factory's architectural structure diagram on the table, stared at the map intently, and began to simulate various surprise attack tactics in his mind.

Samir watched from the side, not daring to breathe.

Carefully observing Song Heping's every move.

He felt this was a good opportunity to learn.

By the way, I also started simulating tactics in my mind.

He gave up in less than ten minutes.

Because there are only four words - Arabian Nights!
Half an hour later, Song Heping threw down the pencil in his hand.

Samir finally dared to speak: "Boss, there are at least two hundred people stationed in the factory..."

"Ok, I know."

Song Heping frowned.

Intelligence says there are 300 people, but perhaps due to rotation issues, not all are stationed here permanently.

According to Hamed's statistics and his own observations just now, there are more than 200 permanent residents, and the rest are probably in other places in the city.

It seems that there are dozens of fewer people, which should reduce the difficulty of the raid.

But the problem is that there are more than 200 people, and it is difficult for only 9 people to handle it.

"Boss, I think we should call for reinforcements. There are nine of us, and we can't handle this."

Song Heping didn't answer immediately, still staring at the map. Finally, he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "No, it can only be done by the nine of us. It's too late to call in outside help. Time is too tight. A hastily assembled team with poor coordination is more likely to cause problems. And no one can guarantee that there will be no leaks."

"But how can we launch a surprise attack with nine of us?" Samir looked at the densely packed sentry positions and patrol routes marked on the architectural drawings, and his head felt as big as ever.

In his view, this was an impossible task.

Song Heping picked up the surveillance log next to him and looked through it.

"...12:9 PM, shift change...2:12 AM, breakfast...Daytime shift change is hours...: PM, dinner..."

Song Heping suddenly turned the diary back.

I turned a few pages, then turned a few more.

It seems that something has been discovered.

Samir noticed that a barely perceptible glint flashed in Song Heping's pupils.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
